Albert Pujols' 558th career home run tied the game for the Angels in the bottom of the sixth Monday.

Pujols is five homers behind former Angel Reggie Jackson (563) for 13th-most all-time.

The homer, off of A's starter Felix Doubront, was the 38th of the year for Pujols, the sixth-most in the American League. Pujols is two behind Mike Trout for the team lead.

Trout and Pujols have combined for 78 home runs this year, five short of the club-record for most home runs by a duo. Troy Glaus (47) and Mo Vaughn (36) combined for 83 in 2000. Garret Anderson and Tim Salmon added 35 and 34 home runs, respectively, for the Halos in 2000.

First baseman C.J. Cron threatened to make it back-to-back home runs and give the Halos the lead, but his fly died at the warning track.

Albert Pujols and Erick Aybar went back-to-back in the sixth off of Ivan Nova to give the Angels a 2-1 lead. Pujols is now tied with Tim Salmon and Mo Vaughn for most home runs in a month in Angel History, 13, and now has the MLB lead for homers in June.

Pujols is one step closer to catching Mike Schmidt for 15th on the all time home run list. Pujols, 544 homers, trails Schmidt by four. With the extra-base hit, Pujols did pass Tris Speaker for 13th on the all time list with 1131. Pujols trails Ty Cobb by four for 12th on the list. Pujols is building on his lead as the American League home run leader. Pujol's 24 home runs ties his with Bryce Harper and Nolan Arenado for third in the MLB, trialing Giancarlo Stanton, 27, and Todd Frazier, 25.

Aybar now has two home runs off of Nova, which is tied for the most Aybar has against any pitcher with James Shields and Alfredo Simon. Aybar has had a good amount of success in the power department against the Yankees. The shortstop has hit six home runs against the Bronx Bombers, which is the most versus any team not in the American League West and the third most versus any team. It was also the 20th home run in Angel Stadium.

Angels fans, remember the disaster that was the start of Mo Vaughn's time with the Halos? Recall how Vaughn fell into the dugout in his first game here, on Opening Day, 1999, and had to miss the next two weeks?

Well, by May 5 of that season, despite the missed time, Vaughn already had four home runs and 13 RBI. It helped that he was batting .300. Pujols enters the Angels game Saturday with a mind-blogging .194 average.

But, hey, Pujols has plenty of time to recover. Don't forget that the Angels signed him for a decade.
